Nippersink board adopts new middle-school grading weights, shifting from 90/10 to 70/30
Summary
The board voted unanimously March 18 to change the middle-school grading policy from a 90/10 split to a 70/30 weighting; the policy was introduced and explained by Board President Joe Quinn and approved on a 7–0 roll-call vote.
Board President Joe Quinn introduced a revision to the district's middle-school grading policy at the March 18 meeting, saying the proposal would “move from a 90/10 percent to a 70/30 percent grading policy.” On a motion by Mailfald, seconded by Stansbury, the board adopted the updated policy by a 7–0 roll-call vote.
Supporters framed the change as an instructional decision to rebalance how student performance and other measures are weighted at the middle-school level. The minutes record that the Curriculum Committee will continue related work; no motions to amend the new weighting were recorded during the meeting.
